J. W. G. LASSETTER, farmer, Villa Rica, Carroll Co., Ga., son of William
and Mary Parthenie (Brown) Lassetter, was born in Carroll county in 1858. His 
grandfather, Benjamin Lassetter, settled in Georgia early in the present 
century. Mr. Lassetter's father was Georgia-born, was reared a farmer, and 
came to Carroll county and settled on Snake Creek when it was a wilderness, in 
1841. He cleared a farm and made a home there and reared a family of fourteen 
children, all of whom made good citizens. His maternal grandparents were also 
among the early settlers of upper Georgia. Mr. Lassetter was bred a farmer, 
received but little schooling, but enough to enable him to teach a short time. 
In 1883 he married Miss Mary Barnett, born in Georgia, daughter of Waddie H. 
and Nancy (Butler) Barnett, who were native South Carolinians, but came to 
Georgia many years ago. Two children, Erie and William c., have blessed this 
union. The first died in his youth. Mr. Lassetter began life with a horse and 
$200, has steadily pursued fanning as a business, and has succeeded admirably. 
He has a nice 250acre farm, a comfortable dwelling and substantial 
outbuildings, and is a progressive and prosperous farmer. Himself and wife are 
members of the Missionary_Baptist Church, and are exemplary-farmers citizens 
and  church members.
